Providence Stadium Pitch Report:
Except for the result in the last game between Afghanistan and Uganda, the surface at the Providence Stadium in Guyana has been mostly favourable for the batters, especially in the second innings. The team batting first has won 4 matches here out of a total of 15 matches, with the batting second team winning 8 matches, including 3 ‘no-result’ matches. So, the captain winning the toss will look ahead to bowl first to chase down the target comfortably in the second innings. The average first innings score here has been only 132 runs.
